Originally teased in vinyl test-shot form back in September, the latest Fake Spectreman figure (#6) from Awesome Toy will finally be touching down later this month! With the ongoing series based on pachi (bootleg) renditions of P Productions’ classic tokusatsu character “Spectreman”, this new version have been inspired by a little known Brazilian comic, featuring an altogether more angular and stylised look than previous renditions of the super-cyborg. Making it’s way into the Medicom Toy store via open preorder starting December 24th, the 9.5″ tall soft vinyl figure will set you back just 9,720yen ($80) plus shipping…

Note// Due to licensing agreements, we still cannot confirm whether the figure will be available for overseas sales.

As promised earlier, we bring you yet more news from Awesome Toy today, as the Hong Kong-based toy producer introduces one of a series of figures from their recently announced “Artist Collection”… the “FAKE BARON” keshi from Bigmantoys! Drawing inspiration from the classic era of mini figures, the M.U.S.L.E-esque piece has been digitally sculpted by BMT’s Lee Burbridge, coming authentically scales at around 2″ tall. Produced in a keshi-style rubber and treated to a knock-off style header card (not pictured), these little guys are set to make their debut at Superfestival 69 this coming Sunday, September 27th. Keep an eye on the Awesome Toy Instagram feed here for news on an overseas release soon!

Having had success with the first 2 waves of Fake Spectreman releases mid-last year, Awesome Toy are proud to announce that a fifth variant will be heading into production next week! With the series based on pachi (bootleg) renditions of P Productions’ classic tokusatsu character Spectreman, this new version has been inspired by a little known Brazilian comic, featuring an altogether more angular take on the well known super-cyborg. Presumably set to feature one of the two bodies that made up the first batch of releases, expect confirmation once a full reveal has been posted over the coming weeks…
